A second suspect wanted in connection to a double murder out of Arlington was arrested Thursday at a Fort Worth home.
Police named Hector "Cholo" Acosta-Ojeda, 28, a murder suspect after two bodies were found buried Monday in a shallow grave outside an Arlington residence. The medical examiner identified one of the victims as 17-year-old Iris Chirinos. Witnesses told police the second suspect is likely Chirinos' boyfriend, whose severed head was found two days before the discovery of the bodies at a nearby trail.
